Actually you're right - the two ideas don't really go together. Feed-sleep-play is not really the way babies normally work. In the early days with DS1 when I thought I had to follow the parenting books, I tried to implement feed-sleep-play, but always ended up with feed-sleep-feed-play etc. What ended up happening with both boys was that they fell into their own ryhthm and I just went with it. Things worked so much better when I let them lead the way.
